VERMONT ROAD TRIP: PART 2: Route 100: A leaf Peepers Paradise Woodford, Vermont town hall Barry told us to stick to Vermont Route 100 as we made our way north through the state, and that was excellent advice. Starting from Bennington, we followed VT 9, the Molly Stark...
In my experience, spring is the best time for road trips, but autumn runs a very close second, and the best place to take an autumn road trip just has to be New England. There are mountains and valleys ablaze with reds, golds and yellows as the vast hardwood forests...
Allegheny Reservoir, near Warren, Pennsylvania Erie, Pennsylvania is one of those rust belt cities. Like Detroit, and Cleveland, and a host of other once great centers of industry, Erie suffered the loss of its economic base when globalization and automation rendered...
DAY 26: From: SAN MIGUEL DE ALLENDE To: MONCLOVA Day 26! It was a hard thing to believe, and a sad thing to contemplate, but we were about to come to the end of our epic adventure in Mexico. We spent the last three days celebrating the Dia de los Muertos in San...
DAY 23: from TEQUISQUIAPAN to SAN MIGUEL DE ALLENDE! We started Day #23 of our road trip at the Hotel Casablanca in Tequisquiapan, a colonial era town an hour or so east of the city of Queretaro. It’s said to be quite charming, but, sadly, we didn’t get...

DAY 21: From: SAN CRISTOBAL DE LAS CASAS To: OAXACA Day 21! We’d been on the road in Mexico for three very full weeks, and for most of that time, we had no fixed itinerary, and no set schedule. We never planned more than a day or two ahead, so the route that...

DAY 17: FROM CAMPECHE BACK TO PALENQUE The 17th day of our road trip started out exactly the same as our 16th day: we had breakfast at our hotel, the Hotel del Paseo (near the historic center of old Campeche); then we hit the road. Over the course of the previous...
